SE NF3
Versatile Workhorse
The PRS SE NF3 is a distinct guitar in the PRS lineup. The heart of this guitar is a trio of PRS Narrowfield pickups, a first for the SE Series. Supporting these pickups is a poplar body, 22-fret bolt-on maple neck, and a rosewood fretboard. The SE NF3 is a versatile workhorse guitar that is fun to play and hard to put down. The Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) “S” pickups are made with taller bobbins to fit more winds and extra metal pieces in between the magnets for a more focused, powerful tone. Anchored with PRS’s patented tremolo, this guitar can bend and flutter with ease.
Perfect for rock, blues, gospel, country, or jazz the PRS SE NF3 can punch, cry, lay down, or sing – as you like it.

Accolades
"I have always loved the PRS NF3. There was a long period where I couldn’t put it down! PRS has now introduced the SE NF3 and I was fortunate enough to get my hands on one… it’s a wonderful guitar! The pickups are really great and have a unique voice… its hard to believe PRS can make such a great guitar at this price point. I would highly recommend this guitar to anyone who wants a beefed up strat style guitar with a slightly slinkier feel."
- Jimmy Herring, Widespread Panic
